Beef tallow is rendered beef fat—a traditional cooking fat that humans have relied on for thousands of years. Long before industrial seed oils existed, our ancestors cooked with tallow because it's stable, nutrient-dense, and delicious.
Our premium beef tallow is handcrafted in small batches in Sussex, Wisconsin using traditional rendering methods. We filter it four times to achieve crystal-clear purity—with no scent or flavors added, so it won't interfere with your recipes.
Whether you're ditching seed oils for health reasons, following a carnivore or keto diet, or simply want to cook like your great-grandparents did, beef tallow is the superior choice for your kitchen.
Why Choose Beef Tallow Over Seed Oils & Butter?
Higher Smoke Point
At 400°F, tallow won't break down during high-heat cooking like butter or olive oil. Perfect for searing, frying, and roasting.
Stable & Non-Toxic
Unlike seed oils (canola, soybean, corn), tallow doesn't oxidize or turn rancid easily. No chemical processing required.
Nutrient-Dense
Rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Real nutrition from real food.
Anti-Inflammatory
Natural fatty acid balance, unlike inflammatory seed oils that dominate the modern diet.
Crystal Clear Purity
Quadruple-filtered for a clean product. Our tallow looks like liquid gold and can add a savory mild flavor.
Sustainable & Ancestral
Uses the whole animal. Traditional, nose-to-tail eating the way humans have for millennia.

How to Use Your Beef Tallow
🔥 For Cooking
Scoop out desired amount with a spoon. Tallow is solid at room temperature (like coconut oil) and melts quickly when heated. Use a 1:1 ratio to replace butter, oil, or shortening in any recipe. Perfect for high-heat cooking!
💧 For Skincare
Warm a small amount between your palms until it melts. Apply to clean, slightly damp skin for maximum absorption. A little goes a long way! Best used at night. Store in a cool, dry place.
📦 Storage Tips
Keep jar tightly sealed. Store at room temperature for up to 2 months, or refrigerate/freeze for extended freshness (up to 1 year). Tallow may solidify in the fridge—simply scoop out what you need and it will melt quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is beef tallow healthier than seed oils?
Yes! Unlike industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn), beef tallow is unprocessed, stable, and contains beneficial fatty acids. Seed oils are chemically extracted, prone to oxidation, and high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. Tallow has been used for thousands of years, while seed oils only became widespread in the 1960s.
Will beef tallow make my food taste like beef?
No! Our quadruple-filtered tallow can bring a mild savory flavor. It won't interfere with your recipes at all. You'll get the cooking benefits without any beef flavor.
Can I use beef tallow for baking?
Absolutely! Beef tallow makes incredibly flaky pie crusts, tender biscuits, and delicious pastries. Use it 1:1 in place of butter or shortening. Many bakers prefer tallow for its superior texture.
How do I store beef tallow?
Tallow is shelf-stable and can be stored at room temperature in a sealed jar for 2+ months. For maximum freshness, refrigerate or freeze (lasts up to 1 year). It solidifies when cold but melts quickly when heated.
Is beef tallow safe for skincare?
Yes! Beef tallow has been used as a natural moisturizer for centuries. Its fatty acid profile closely mimics human skin sebum, making it highly compatible and deeply moisturizing. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. Perfect for dry skin, hands, feet, and even as a beard balm base.
Is your beef tallow keto and carnivore diet friendly?
100% yes! Beef tallow is pure animal fat with zero carbs—perfect for keto, carnivore, paleo, and ancestral diets. Single ingredient: premium beef fat.
Why is tallow better than butter for high-heat cooking?
Tallow has a smoke point of 400°F, while butter burns at around 350°F. This makes tallow ideal for searing steaks, frying, and roasting at high temperatures without burning or creating harmful compounds.
